I went to tru today and like ahh5hit up there The shelves were stocked full, maybe 30 cars. I spent a total of one minute looking at these cars and then walked out the store mumbling to myself. RS better get them ses out to me quick. 
They do look cool, but for their size I would want more.

hey there ahh5hit....
these look pretty cool. those strips on top make me want to get one....still not positive what they are for, but i agree with the idea they are for lights...do you have a voltmeter to test those strips? i would guess the black wire is ground and there will be voltages on the other strips. what would be enlightening is to see what those voltages are and when they occur...like one has voltage only when the car is going forward...or if the voltages reverse polarity when switching directions....that would tell us a lot about what they are for and how we can use them for mods.

My meter is at work, so I will have to bring it home to check it out. But I agree, it does have me kinda baffled.

Good find Ahh5hit!
I'm impressed by their performance. I just have the stock starter kit (blue Mini), but the car flies with the 14,000 rpm motor! I need to get the 22,000 rpm motor... 
And like you said, the bodies have great detail.
I like the pistol grip controller too. Really good range (9V in the transmitter helps!).
There's a clue to possibly more body styles coming!
I found this in the instruction sheet.

Can someone please measure the side to side wheelbase of these? It needs to be under 1 1/2" to fit on the X-trek track.

I bought the Blue and the Red Mini Cooper S, very cool. Even without the tune up kit its faster than my ZZ's. With the 22Krpm motor its so fast.
Has anyone seen a white version of the Mini?
I think the strips must be for lights.

It's right at 1-1/2", but the bodies are even wider than that.

Thanks for the heads up. It must of come up in the last couple of hours. I do like the 2F&2F cars better than the Zip ones. Better spoilers, even though the EVO is incorrect. They are using the EVO8 while the car in the movie was an EVO7.
It will be interesting to see what pops up in the Tips & Tricks section, maybe something to do with those 3 tabs on top of the PCB cover?
Hmm....A race track? Did anyone else see these at TRU?
